'Zat help?
Check out "roane11" and "waring4131d" in RootsWeb Family Trees.
Since you are in King William Co. you may be able to help with a major problem associated with John Jones Roane [Jr.] who was a one term Congressman and remained in DC as a civil servant in the Patent Office and Treasury Dept. He allegedly married a Mary Magdalene Attaulla. Surname is of Arabic derivation. She may have been of the international community in DC. They lived in DC where [apparently] both died and are buried. If you have access to family Bibles of the period c. 1860-1850, perhaps of his father, John Jones Roane, we might have some verification.
Will be pleased to hear from you.
